“French authorities are investigating a suspected link to Iran after thwarting a bomb attack outside a Bank of America building in Paris, the interior minister said Monday. Five people are in custody. Authorities suspect a link due to similarities with other recent attempted attacks in Europe for which a pro-Iran group claimed responsibility, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said. On Saturday morning, Paris police officers spotted two suspects carrying a shopping bag near the Bank of America office in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital. The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office is looking into alleged terrorism-related offenses. The ‘modus operandi is in every respect similar to actions that have been carried out in the Netherlands and in Belgium’, Nuñez said on French radio RTL. In those cases, there were claims by a pro-Iranian group that ‘linked them to the conflict’ in the Middle-East.” (03/30/26)
